This is a Napa Valley Chardonnay that hits the sweet spot in terms of balance. It has a slight toast on the nose with some pear and tropical fruit vibes. The palate has a soft, medium depth balanced by active acidity. Average price: $36 Rating: 93 See Review Domaine Anderson Estate Cha...
It can also be found in sweet botrytized and late-harvest wines; Canada even produces sweet Chardonnayice wines. However, as mentioned above, extended hang-time on the vine can mean Chardonnay loses a good deal of its natural acidity – this is why late-harvest Chardonnay wines are not wid...
